Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
- The living conditions of adjacent occupiers, with particular regard to the outlook from 46 The Drive
What decided it
The fallback position of permitted development rights for more harmful extensions carried significant weight and justified granting permission despite moderate harm to character and appearance.
